KnuckleUp Outer Banks Student Profile - Chef Wes Stepp
Chef Wes Stepp, KnuckleUp's official Caterer 
Chef Wes started out at KnuckleUp as one of Matt Costa's first fitness bootcamp participants - he finished those tough 5 weeks over 25 LBS lighter, and has been coming to classes consistently ever since.
Wes Stepp is the owner of the popular Red Sky Cafe restaurant in Duck, NC. He's been a chef in the Outer Banks for over 25 years, and his cuisine reflects the best of what the beach offers: fresh, succulent, mouth-watering dishes that have become an OBX attraction by itself.
But what most people dont know is that despite running one of the most successful Outer Banks Catering services, Wes always finds time to keep himself in shape - and we're not talking about hours on the treadmill.
Far from it, actually:

Chef Wes has been taking almost daily Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes, and according to Leo Saraceni, his sparring partner:
Wes is really tough on the mat - he moves way too quick for such a strong guy, and keep in mind he had no previous grappling experience whatsoever!
When he's not on the mat, Wes is on the ring - his boxing skills have greatly improved under the supervision of Matt Costa. Morrison Butler, KnuckleUp's General Manager, sees a potentially dangerous MMA fighter in Wes.
He's got the strength, the speed, and the intelligence to put everything together in a devastating way.
For now, Wes hasnt shown any competition desires, but we'll see.
One thing is certain, however - Wes' healthy habits reflect on his food, as you can see on this video where he uses fresh Outer Banks seafood to make the most delicious rockfish:
